okk thanks

[alpinestarrider1]

nicee! what batts are u using?? 1 stock nimh?? thanks

[phoenixfire47]

@alpinestarrider1 Yes, just 1 stock NiMH. I no longer own this truck.

[magicmechanic86]

yeah i have the original and the 3905. right now im up to 8 rc cars assocciated traxxas and losi. traxxas take the top. : )

[phoenixfire47]

Haha! Nice, I lost count of how many I have but still adding to the fleet :D

[joaquinva2]

Nice :)

wats faster 12 cells or 6 cells srry kinda new to this hobbie stuff but iam waiting for christmas so i can hopefully get one of these

[phoenixfire47]

It's fine. 12 Cells is more powerful at 14.4V vs 7.2V but 12C is harder to control, more broken parts and for a beginner, not the way to go. Yes 50+mph sounds cool but its VERY hard to control at top speed and one wrong turn could end up in havoc. Shoot me a PM if you have more questions

[magicmechanic86]

sorry i miss informed its 6cell = 7.2volts not 7cell. 7cell wich you can also purchase is 8.4volts.

[jugglesandmrmathess]

@phoenixfire47 theres a control on the new 2.4Ghz system ( if you have it) that you can increase or decrease depending how fast your going.

[phoenixfire47]

@jugglesandmrmathess I don't own this truck anymore haha. I ran my DX2.0 in it for a long time before I traded it for a 1/8 buggy. Converted that with a MMM on 5S and now I no longer own that either!

[jugglesandmrmathess]

@phoenixfire47 dam did thwy all break, what u have now?

[phoenixfire47]

@jugglesandmrmathess It was too weak, too many weak points. I have a 1/5 gasser coming in hopefully by monday now, traded the buggy for it.

[jugglesandmrmathess]

@phoenixfire47 nice gas powered?

[phoenixfire47]

@jugglesandmrmathess Yup, with the X-Can exhaust on it. Going to swap that with a Jetpro though. The 1/16 Revo was a fun truck, but after a while it just kept falling apart on the smallest of jumps. If you really want a brushless mini RC, get the new RC18T2 Brushless one, it'll run you around $200 on amainhobbies and I've got the older 18T, the only part I've broken were stripped spur gears, that's it.

[jugglesandmrmathess]

@phoenixfire47 nice friend me, cuz i do have the mini revo i use it for speed not for alot of jumping untill i get upgrades, but main reason i got is its waterproof, and i wanted to drive the car on water, iv managed to do this in water over my head bout 3-5 meters long, for christmas i hope to get a 3s lipo batery and to accive the guines world record for the longest rc car water skip, but not until next summer

[magicmechanic86]

12 cells is faster the higher the cells the more voltage you have. for example 7cell = 7.2volts  14cell = 14.4volts. and the more voltage you have the faster you go.

[phoenixfire47]

Exactly but your information is wrong, its 7.2V for 6 cells and 14.4V for 12 cells ;). 14 cells would be 16.8V and 7 cells is 8.4V

[magicmechanic86]

lol...I must have been day dreaming about my e-maxx. My bad.

[phoenixfire47]

Haha no problem. I'm guessing you have the E-Maxx 3905?

[flyboy6753]

do u live at a camp site?

[phoenixfire47]

No of course not, this is just where we go during camping season as much as we can, its like a vacation home except in a 40ft park model and with a very nice community in the grounds

[flyboy6753]

so r u just running this on a single 7.2 volt 3000mah battery stick?

[phoenixfire47]

Well in the video I was running a single 1200mAh 7.2v NiMH but I do also run two 1400mAh 7.2v's in Series for 14.4v 1400mAh but on this lip its too much power for any good control in the air

[concreat1]

i'm assuming this is on a 6 cell nimh, not a 6 cell lipo? if it is a lipo what esc are you runnning...

[phoenixfire47]

Nope. 6C NiMH. I do have 12C NiMH but off this lip it was impossible to control it midair on 12.
